I am very passionate about helping students, because I like when I am able to break down lessons and topics, and help them to learn new things that will help them in life. I have been a Teacher since 2010. I have experience teaching Spanish as a first language, and as a second language. I have taught mostly every grade (6-12).I earned my Bachelor Degree in Spanish Education at Interamerican University in Puerto Rico, and my Master Degree in Curriculum at at Interamerican University in Puerto Rico as well.I am working on starting my Doctoral Degree in Online Education and Leadership.I tutor Spanish 1, 2, 3, AP, and Conversational Spanish. I love to teach Spanish, because is my first language, but also because I understand that learning a new language is a little bit complicated.My teaching philosophy is get to know my students and know their learning's style to help them understand the content easily. I believe the Educator is a facilitator and is my job to guide the student to be successful.

I'm excited about tutoring because I have a love of learning. This opportunity to help others learn new ideas and new perspectives truly brings me joy. My MBA is in Management and Leadership. In addition to management courses, the curriculum covered business writing, ethics, and public speaking. I primarily tutor reading, writing and math at the Pre-K, elementary and middle school level. My career has always been in business management - from fashion to real estate. For over 10 years, I have volunteered with Island Harvest - one of the best non-profits that help us here - at home - on Long Island.
Jessica
10th Grade Writing Tutor • +39 Subjects
A good teacher can make an enormous impact on the life of a student. I have seen this firsthand throughout my life. As a student, I learned how to read and write critically because I had teachers who cared, and who invested themselves in my education. Because of these teachers, I have dedicated myself to the education of others. As a tutor, there is nothing more gratifying than having a student report back that a paper got an A, or that a much-feared test was actually a breeze.My goal as your tutor is to remove the fear and anxiety that may surround a subject, and to place there instead something positive--the love of a book, an appreciation for a well-written paragraph, and the confidence to attack any test or assignment with assurance.I hold my Master's Degree in English Curriculum and Instruction for grades 5-12, and I am well-versed in different teaching methods to ensure that a student who works with me has every chance of success. I think that students learn best when they are interested in a topic; my job as a tutor is to stimulate that interest in any way possible. I will motivate and inspire you to be the best student you can be!

Algebra Tutor • +3 Subjects
Being a math teacher for 16 years is makes me wanna do more challenging job. Changing the lives of my students from having math anxiety to math excitement is my secret ingredient to challenge and help them excel. I love to face my computer and make strategic plan to improve my teaching. I love to travel to see the world and share something to my students. I treat my students like my own kids and that keep me positive everyday.
Ava
Algebra Tutor • +11 Subjects
I am currently a junior at the University of Georgia majoring in risk management and insurance. Since high school, I have tutored a wide variety of subjects, ranging from English to science to math to elementary and middle school students. The thrill watching students figure out something that seemed impossible to them at first is exhilarating; it makes me proud. I try to make learning as fun and easy as possible for students since I know some of the material can be challenging and I like to accommodate to each student. I hope to spread my knowledge inside and outside of the classroom. I like to hang out with friends, go shopping, dance and play piano in my free time.
Priyanka
Algebra Tutor • +18 Subjects
Hi, I'm Priyanka Prasad! I'm a senior Mathematics and Economics major at Butler University. I have minors in Management Information Systems, Business Administration, and French. I've been a Math and Economics tutor throughout my time in college. These are subjects in which many students struggle during high school and college, and I find helping students to feel more confident in them to be so rewarding!In my spare time, I love to travel, learn new languages, cook, dance, and work with young people. I've done this as a freelance tutor for the past 4 years and also through mentorship opportunities through College Mentors for Kids and working as a tutor for refugees for a local school system.Over the course of the past 4 years, I have tutored over 20 high school students for an extended period of time. Many of these tutoring experiences have been specifically for test preparation. During this time, I've greatly enjoyed helping students meet their own academic goals. Of all the types of tutoring I've done over the years, I've found test preparation tutoring to be the most rewarding. Here's why: standardized tests like the SAT and ACT are often high stakes: performance on one test can have quite a large impact on a student's life. Despite this, test taking is a skill many students struggle with. Fortunately, I've found that test taking skills can be taught, and that learning them can improve student's standardized test performance dramatically. It's enjoyable to watch students develop into confident, effective test takers. It's even better to see what doors doing well on essential tests can open for them.I've also tutored 10-15 students as a supplement to in-class instruction for a specific course. Normally, I enjoy working with student on Math, Economics, Reading, and Writing. Most of the students I've tutored have seen an improvement of 2+ letter grades during the time we've worked together.When I first meet a student, I make it a point to learn about the student's interests and goals, both academic and extracurricular. Then, when the student and I are discussing the subject I am teaching them, I help the student make connections between the subject I'm teaching them to something they have a personal interest in. For example, I was recently working with an Economics student who was doing poorly in the course because she believed it was irrelevant to her life aspirations and therefore didn't apply herself to it much. Soon, I learned that my student wanted desperately to become a corporate lawyer. Once I helped her see how economic principles serve as the basis for legal systems (on both a macro and micro level), she was far more interested in Economics. This interest enabled her to exceed her expectations for her course grade by over two letter grades.As someone who has overcome my own personal struggles with lack of organization and timeliness, I have experienced firsthand what it feels like to work hard but still struggle to reach one's academic goals. Since I'm a far more organized and efficient student now than I was as a child (as evidenced by my solid college academic record), I've implemented changes in my study habits and lifestyle which truly worked. When I work with my students, I often share tips with them which worked for me to set them on the right path to academic success: This does two things: admitting that I'm not perfect either to a student takes me off a pedestal and allows me to connect with the student as their equal. Also, it provides the student motivation that they too, like me, can overcome their academic challenges.

Algebra Tutor • +35 Subjects
I have a Masters of Science in Applied Physics and a Bachelors of Science in Physics from Northern Illinois University and The Ohio State University, respectively. I have been tutoring for 12 years in a range of mathematics and science courses from algebra to AP Calculus and physics to astronomy, respectively. I tutored math at a private tutoring center where I became very adept at helping students of varying ages, approximately 5 to 18.While earning my masters degree I taught introductory physics laboratories for two years. I have also been a math instructor at a second private learning center where I learned techniques in helping students not only academically but boost their confidence, enhance their strengths and recognize as well as work on their weaknesses. When tutoring, I teach students how ask the appropriate questions to help them solve their problems. I start by asking leading questions and get the student to reason through the problem rather than simply showing them or having them memorize procedures. This method gets them to be an active participate and not merely an "audience of one." I believe that each student is unique and I tailor my methods of teaching to fit their needs. Many problems can be explained in multiple ways, different ways benefiting different students. For example, some students work better visually and some through auditory means.I enjoy helping students learn because I like sharing the knowledge I spent considerable time acquiring with others and helping make it theirs, too. I particularly enjoy tutoring mathematics and science to educate and inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers. My favorite subjects to teach are physics and astronomy. Outside of academia, amateur astronomy, along with grilling and watching and reading science fiction are my hobbies.

English Tutor • +19 Subjects
As both a student and an educator, I recognize that education is largely a collaborative and contextual exercise. We each bring with us our own strengths, challenges, hopes, and ambitions and it is important that we are open about these, so as to recognize how they might help and impede our learning! My experience in the contextual exercise of education is primarily in the high school setting, where I have taught history and literature. However, I have also worked with younger students and those with learning differences in a variety of different subjects. I am both a teacher and a continuing scholar. Thus, I recognize the need to apply some of my own pedagogical ideas to my ongoing studies! I am inspired by students that are able to discover something of themselves within the subjects they are working on.I hold an MTS degree from Villanova University, where I specialized in Christianity in late antiquity. I present on a variety of topics regarding history and Christianity in antiquity at conferences, and will begin doctoral work next year in Syriac studies. I look forward to learning alongside you!
Ash
Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +12 Subjects
I consider myself a hard-working individual that has a wide variety of skill sets and talents. I am a fast learner, and thanks to my upbringing, I have developed an exceptional work ethic. Every position and job I've held in the past shaped the type of worker I am today and will be tomorrow. I bring not only a smile and a great attitude to the classroom, but also strong leadership, friendly companionship, and a disposition for excellence. I live to teach and I love to help people learn.
Elena
College English Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am a graduate of McGill University (BA First Class Honors) and the University of Edinburgh (MSc First Class Honors with Distinction) with over eight years of tutoring experience. I am currently a curriculum developer for a company which creates relatable and culturally-literate courses for middle and high-schools, and am particularly adept at communicating and explaining concepts in a quirky, engaging, and intelligent manner. I was named Scotland International Young Thinker of the Year 2014 for exactly that sort of work. Much of my tutoring background is in test-prep and essay coaching, which I enjoy because it allows the tutor and student to think strategically together, and work as a team to achieve concrete results. I have worked with students ranging in age from 6-32, and believe that, in an educational context, a few jokes never hurt anybody. I love reading and learning, and my educational approach is centered around making the material just as engaging to students as it is to me. I think J.K. Rowlings, the writer of Harry Potter, is just as brilliant as Stephen Hawking, and in my free time, I manage my (terrible) fantasy baseball team, write songs for my comedy band, and crack jokes about terrible science-fiction movies with my friends.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Maryland Bar Exam tests your knowledge across multiple subjects including Civil Procedure, Constitutional Law, Contracts, Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure, Evidence, Real Property, Torts, and Professional Responsibility. The exam consists of the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE)—200 multiple-choice questions—and the Maryland essay portion. Personalized tutoring helps you identify knowledge gaps in specific subject areas and develop strategies tailored to your learning style, rather than following a one-size-fits-all classroom approach. A tutor can focus intensive preparation on your weakest areas while reinforcing strong subjects efficiently.
Most bar exam candidates begin structured preparation 8-12 weeks before their exam date, though this varies based on your law school experience and confidence level. Many students benefit from starting tutoring 10-12 weeks out to establish a strategic study plan, focus on high-difficulty topics early, and build confidence through practice questions and essay writing. If you're struggling with specific subjects or MBE performance, starting tutoring earlier—or intensifying sessions closer to exam day—can make a significant difference in your final score.
Maryland's essay questions require you to analyze fact patterns and apply substantive law under time pressure—very different from multiple-choice reasoning. Effective preparation involves writing timed essays under realistic conditions, receiving detailed feedback on your analysis and writing structure, and refining your approach based on what's working. Personalized tutoring is particularly valuable here because a tutor can review your essays, identify gaps in legal reasoning, suggest better organizational strategies, and help you develop faster, more efficient writing patterns that work specifically for your thinking style.
Many bar exam candidates underestimate the MBE because it's not just about knowing the law—it's about understanding how to apply legal concepts to complex, multi-layered fact patterns quickly and accurately. Common struggles include misreading questions, overthinking simple issues, or missing critical details in fact patterns. Tutoring helps by teaching you question-analysis strategies, building pattern recognition through targeted practice, and identifying your specific error patterns (rushing, second-guessing, confusion in particular subject areas). With focused practice and feedback, students typically see meaningful score improvements within 4-6 weeks.
Bar exam preparation while managing work or other responsibilities requires a strategic, efficient study plan—not just more hours. Tutors help by designing condensed study schedules that maximize your limited time, prioritizing high-impact topics and practice methods, and helping you avoid common time-wasters like passive reading or unproductive outline reviewing. Rather than trying to study 40 hours a week, focused 1-on-1 instruction can deliver better results through 15-20 hours of intentional, strategically planned preparation with accountability and regular progress assessment.
Look for tutors who have recently passed the Maryland Bar Exam (or have deep experience with it), understand both the MBE and Maryland-specific essay requirements, and can teach you how to think like a lawyer under pressure—not just memorize rules. The best tutors combine strong legal knowledge with an ability to explain complex concepts clearly, adapt their teaching to your learning style, and identify your specific weak points. Experience with bar exam preparation is essential; a tutor should be able to show you proven strategies for question analysis, time management, and essay writing that actually work on test day.
Score improvements depend on where you're starting and how consistently you engage with tutoring, but students typically see meaningful gains when they combine focused tutoring with disciplined practice. Many students improve their practice MBE scores by 15-25 points through targeted instruction and error pattern analysis. For essays, tutors help you move from scattered analysis to organized, high-scoring responses. The Maryland Bar Exam passing score is around 75% (the specific score converts annually), and personalized instruction significantly increases your likelihood of reaching that threshold by addressing your specific knowledge gaps and test-taking weaknesses.
